Thanks guys, I am having a blast with it so far.
It would've been nice if the dealer would've put more than 10pounds of air in the tires before I took off... so needless to say, it rides better today.

They were too low, too far forward, and I couldn't ride in my 'laid back' normal riding style. Had to lean forward a bit, and it wasn't comfortable.
We installed some 4" pull back risers from a Softail Deluxe, and it made all the difference in the world. Raised the bar up and pulled it back, and now the grips are in a perfectly comfortable position for long range laid back cruising.
Also, didn't have to change out any of the control cables, has they have plenty of 'slack', even with the pull back riser I'm using...

About the only thing I didn't like about my FatBoy when I got it was the position of the stock bars..

OFG - the bars on my bike, are they the same as the ones you go when you bought yours?
